Police: Motel shooting victim dies, beaten man recovering

A woman shot in a room at an Oklahoma City inn Tuesday night has died, according to police, and a man who was assaulted at the same motel is recovering.

Officers say they don't think the two crimes were connected.

Investigators said the incidents began when a man fired a shot from the parking lot of the Drover Inn at 3809 South I-35 Service Road. The bullet hit a woman inside one of the rooms and she has since died, according to police.

It is not known whether the man and woman knew each other. No one is in custody at this time.

As police were investigating the shooting, they say an assault occurred and one man was taken to a hospital. Two people were arrested in that incident, according to officials.

Officers said the only thing that is connecting the crime is the fact that they both occurred at the same location. KOCO Eyewitness News 5 has previously reported on a kidnapping sexual assault, stabbings and even a murder in the same area.

"To me when I been staying here it seems like a safe place for me and like I said, I never seen something like this happen before.Whenever I seen this it made me feel unsafe," said Heidi Brannon, a guest at the inn.
